Pastel Self Portrait (Again)

I've done a little bit more work on this piece since it was last seen here. I actually would have done more in the way of completing it, but when I finally sat down with a fairly sizable block of time to work on it, I realized that I have very few flesh tone pastels as I seldom do portraits in this medium. Since I can't really make my face just pale yellow and a sort-of flesh-toney pink (well, I could actually if I wished to go that route, but I don't), I was forced to stop working after one quick undercoat. I fiddled with the background a bit, but otherwise it's been shelved till I get to the store and pick up a selection of portrait shades of pastels, preferably in my actual flesh tones.
